Thank you for the countless laughs, arguments, hugs, and scolds. You reminded me so much of my older sister and you never believed me until y’all worked together and became best friends. Your craziness, humor, and big smile will be missed. My heart hurts so much. Love you Tina. My thoughts are with your family and closest of friends.

I still can't believe God already called you home at a young age.. Love seeing pics of you and your daughter and I can't imagine how your daughter feel to lose her Best Friend but I pray that God can comfort her and touch her heart. Everytime I see you, your always smiling and that what I will always remember you by. I remember when we was kids you would come over to my parent house a couple times, my parent thought you was adorable. Now your reunited with your Grandpa and tell him I said Hi. Happy Mother Day Luv. We will miss you but you won't be forgotten. R.I.H Christina

Tina, the news truly saddens me! You were an amazing teacher and though we had it out a couple times (LOL) you made sure I got things down in that place! You were so kind hearted and loving! You always told donors I was your future baby mama and they would just freak out. Lol. The second you heard I was doing fertility you came to me with an unexpected offer and it brought me to tears! But that's just who you were. You will never be forgotten love! My prayers for your family and your sweet little mini! Rest easy and soar the skies boo!

Tina, I am at such a loss for words...I cannot believe I am writing a memorial for you. You were such a beautiful soul, so full of life, so full of potential, so full of sass and attitude, and more than anything so much love for your daughter. You definitely left your mark on the lives you touched and will leave an irreplaceable void in this world. Rest easy beautiful.

Hey babe I still can’t believe this is real. You have made a major impact on my life and I am so happy that in the time we had I got be someone to make you happy and be a reason that you smiled and were happy to say you were with me. Kaileigh, Kendra and I will miss you so much and Will never forget you. I wish I got to spend more time with you and get to do some of the things we were always talking about. I am so in love with you and I always will love you. You walked into a room and everyone knew you have arrived that smile, them eyes, that attitude and just your overall presence made everything so much easier. You presence will be miss but your memories will never fade away. Fly high babe I love you so much. And I am planning on staying in Madelyn’s life whenever she needs me I will be there.

What can I say? I never thought that I would have to bury my baby sister. You were always the one that was full of so much life and so much zest. I have never met a single soul more fierce than you. Just because I was the older sister didn’t mean you didn’t teach me as much as I taught you. You taught me to be a warrior when I was going through hard times, you taught me to stand tall and never let anyone disrespect me but most of all you taught me to branch out and broaden my horizons. We fought so hard sometimes because I guess we never could come to terms that we were so much alike. When our parents would say that we would get so mad, now, I wear that like a badge of honor. I know how fiercely you loved your daughter and how you would do anything to protect her. I promise to take the reigns and take care of her the way you would have wanted. Rest easy, I got your little Mowgli. Love you.

Tina, You’ll be forever missed. I can’t believe you’re gone. I remember walking into 173 for the first time and you made such an impression on me. Then seeing your face when I walked into 118.... you screaming across the donor floor.... ironically at every center. 😊 I’ll miss you girl. You were an amazing person! One of my favorite memories of Wyoming was with you.... you coming off the donor floor screaming about blood. Love you girl.

Tina, I truly miss you and words can’t describe how I feel. You have been so helpful and caring from the time I’ve started at the company and also during this whole pregnancy process. I miss you. You treated me like a sister and I’m going to miss our breakfast and smoothie runs. You won’t be forgotten and I’ll keep your baby girl and family in my prayers. See you later Tin Tin.

Tina I remember when I was just a donor, I’d come straight in and search for your face or listen for that distinctive laugh of yours <3 and once I became an employee I gravitated towards you and always felt comfort, you taught me so much and always told me “you got this Asia babe” even when you drove me crazy it was comforting to know you were somewhere close by to save the day if needed. RIP beautiful.

This all seems unreal. I just talk to you the night before u passed. I only knew you for 2 short years. Wish I could of met you sooner. You had a smile that could light up a room. You were one of the most loving and caring person I’ve ever met. Anytime I needed someone to talk to you were there no hesitation. I can’t stop thinking about you just hoping this all a dream. You were amazing mother. Your daughter was your world and u were sure to let everyone know that’s. I’m gonna miss the crazy random adventures we did. I love you please watch over us. Till we meet again beautiful

As I sit here and try to find the words to say, it is hard because I am in such disbelief. You brighten up the areas that surrounded you. It did not matter what was going on you always seemed to maintain a smile, and a positive ora that others seemed to feed off of. R.I.P Tina you will never be forgotten and I know your family and your CSL family will keep your memories alive.

I will always cherish the memories I have of us girls hanging out at the pool in your backyard during the summer, or when we would combine our change together to get pizza and soda from domino's. That same Domino's was where several of us had our first jobs, so many amazing memories of fun times together. You were beautiful, sassy, sweet, kind, and devoted to your daughter. I am blessed to have so many good memories with you. You're an angel now Tina, please watch over us all. God bless you and your family. <3

Damn girl. Everywhere I look I have a memory of you. Im so thankful you met Elijah and Mali before you passed. I’ll be here for your family and a piece of me will be forever gone. after almost 20 years together it’s hard to not have memory with you. After 20 years it’s hard to say goodbye to you. I’m so grateful I seen you before you passed. I’ll cherish all the memory’s I have of us. You were the only one I could reminisce with most of the time. You were the one who remembered the details I couldn’t and vice vers. Rest in heaven my other half❤️
